Yes, they screwed the pooch on this one in 3.0. The external inputs no longer function correctly. The only way I could get it to work was to set AV1 to Video and AV2 to video. Then switch your source to AV2 and it plays. Apparently it thinks the front 1/8" jack is a video input. Brilliant Pioneer, brilliant.

Yep..

After updating to 3.0 I can't seem to get the front Aux input to work (the 1/8" jack I use my Zune with). The Aux menu items are just grayed out..

Can anyone else with 3.0 confirm/deny that their front aux input is working?

Guys, it's the weekend, 90% of people have Sunday off... You can't reasonably expect anything IT-based to get fixed over the weekend.

You obviously don't work in the IT field. If something IT goes down that's public facing, everyone involved in the system has pagers going off. IF your IT/company has their act together that is.

Me too - another fine feather in Pioneer's cap. What a POS.

ummm, how is it their falt that they had an earthquake where there servers are located. I mean really guys, there are some things you just have to not blame on them as being their fook up.

 

Are you crazy! if an earthquake was the problem then you would not even get the page to input the codes to begin with!! This is just typical Pioneer bull sh*t! I will never never buy a pioneer product again.

Exactly. From a technical perspective, layers 1-7 of the OSI model all have full connectivity. If the earthquake really took down the server you wouldn't even be able to ping it, much less pull up a full web page that says you have an invalid device number.

Earthquake = not related to this outage by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah - it's pretty bad that the best support you can get for their product is from a 3rd party website. I will never buy Pioneer again. Ever.

Me too - another fine feather in Pioneer's cap. What a POS.

And the HD radio presets are still blank.

That's truly terrible. WTF is all I can say.

I'm thinking I'll just get a Zune HD and mount it next to the radio for HD.. lol. At least it can show the name of the station...

That's awesome! So it looks like preset tuning via steering wheel controls works now?!!? Did this not work for you previously, but now works with 3.0?

They are dong it again

 

2008.10 Maps?

 

We are Juli 2009 and I have seen 2009.02 Maps already 2 month ago. I'm happy to pay for an update if it is really up to date.

 

I appreciate they have to do some more testing and developing, but wrapping it up with newest maps a coupple of days before they ship it shouldn't be too difficult.

Looks like they're 4/28/09 maps. Look in the brackets.

You guys make ne laugh. You are all getting upset and angry over posts made purely on speculation and rumours. Think threads like this should be locked and you should all just wait and see what happens for real when they release the update.

+1000000. Thank you. Seriously. You're all getting so angry over something, quite frankly, none of you know anything about. You are not an engineer employed by Pioneer, therefore you can't say that you know for sure what will or will not be included in the update, or if the firmware will be free and provided separately.

 

You're all speculating on what you see as a "Coming Soon!" product on Pioneer's website.

This is how hysteria spreads. A bunch of tards that get angry over something which has details that have not been fully announced or even released yet. That's like getting angry at a Concept Car at an Auto Show. It's not the official release of the car. Relax.

 

This thread shouldn't even exist, as the Topic itself is incorrect. The update has not been released (as has been said before repeatedly). All you're seeing is a freaking advertisement for a product that is still being developed.

Amen. 20 pages of posts with zero useful information in them.

Unfortunately no, although Wikipedia does have a good list of analyzers, many of which also work with UART:

Nice. My only unit is in the car which makes reverse engineering a little more difficult

Do you have a UART/I2C protocol analyzer handy? It could help immensely..

How it is raised probably depends on the underlying hardware (electrically speaking), but it's probably a device object and a (kernel mode) device driver, coupled with a user-mode application that uses the driver.

It would likely be much easier to implement your own listener (which is what he apparently did, but alas with no FM tuner yet) than reverse engineer the compiled code. If we had source for the AVIC software that would be a much different story and I could do it myself fairly easily, but unfortunately that's not the case...

Has anyone investigated remapping the default action of the multifunction knob left/right action to change presets instead of seeking? I'm pretty technically savvy but don't want to reinvent the wheel if it's already been investigated.. Could also be hard coded in the program logic...

Thanks,

8 ) Yes, the knob works in FM like every other FM tuning knob on the planet, I've never heard of one just jumping to presets.

Most radios have their default "change" for FM radio use presets and have a separate seek option to find radio stations. The reason why is in any normal city/metropolitan area (where most people/customers live) trying to seek is an effort in futility. My AVIC stops every 0.2 to 0.4 Mhz of the FM spectrum when using the knob's left/right action, because of the number of stations and noise out there, making it basically useless. The only time I use it is to program presets into the radio (i.e. stations I actually would like to listen to).

Since the AVIC won't tune presets unless you change out of map mode and take your eyes off the road, it is quite annoying.. I just hope they have a firmware update/fix for this in the next update...perhaps make it a config option to tune by preset instead.
